The Three Musketeers is a story that has been adapted in many movies and theatre productions.
For this production, D'Artagnan, a young man, came to Paris, France motivated to become one of Three Musketeers.
The Three Musketeers looked down on him because they thought he didn’t have sword fighting skills which turned out to be false.
D’Artagnan worked hard and had a strong aptitude for sword fighting.
He proved it after he bravely attacked five of the Cardinal's guards during a battle.
This battle enabled him to become friends with Three Musketeers thus becoming one of them.

D'Artagan's landlord hired him to find his wife while she was missing.
His wife was traveling across both England and France on an order from Cardinal Richelieu.

A Day at the Beach, a solo performance for and co-written with deaf actor Billy Seago, commissioned and premiered at Seattle Children's Theater, was featured at the 1998 Holland Youth Theater Festival.
